Qianbei Ye laughed once again. That peerless smile on his face was very enticing.

"Don't worry, there won't be a need for you to sacrifice your soul."

This assurance touched Zixie's heart and he laid his resistance towards Qianbei Ye to rest.

In the past, he had viewed Qianbei Ye with such animosity because he had mistakenly believed that Qianbei Ye was the person who had murdered Gu Ruoyun! Now that he had discovered that it was Cang Ming who had impersonated Qianbei Ye back then, he had laid down all of his misgivings.

"I don't wish for her to know of my feelings towards her. It would trouble her so I hope you won't say anything to her." Zixie glanced at the recuperating Qianbei Ye and raised the corners of his lips. "I only wish to stay by her side, nothing more."

If Gu Ruoyun finds out that he has feelings for her, based on her character, she would choose to dissolve their contract in order to avoid troubling him.

Rather than being separated from her without the chance to see her again, he preferred to keep his feelings secret. This way, he could stay by her side as a companion and never leave her!

"She's my woman so I would naturally ache to see her. If she knows about your feelings, she would certainly feel sad and guilty." Qianbei Ye gently raised his brow. "So I won't tell her."

Zixie nodded lightly. "I will construct a formation for you to heal your wounds here. Once you're done, you can step out and find her. She has been thinking about you non-stop for the past three years."

Actually, Zixie simply could not understand it. I had stayed by her side the longest through both lifetimes and have watched her grow from the weakest to her peak! Why, did she choose Qianbei Ye in both her lifetimes? He wondered.

Perhaps Qianbei Ye was good at expressing his feelings and I could only rely on banter and teasing words. It may be because of this that I've lost out on her...

However, losing out was losing out. No matter what, I will respect her decision.

"Thank you."

Qianbei Ye murmured earnestly as he stared at the demonic and handsome man before him.

Zixie looked at him, crossed his arms and replied in a lazy and evil manner. "You don't need to thank me, I'm doing this all for Yun'er."

These two were supposed to be love rivals! However, they were no longer fighting against each other. Instead, they were now working together for a woman's sake...

Qianbei Ye did not say anything more as he continued to meditate and entered into a healing state...

The Underworld.

A silver-haired man dressed in black robes was seated on the dragon's throne with his chin propped on his hands. His cold and wanton gaze turned to the guard who was kneeling on the ground as he asked, "Has Murong Qian returned?"

His voice was as cold and arrogant as ever with a hint of disdain in its tone.

"Reporting to the Palace Lord, Madam Murong has led a party of Underworld members into the First City and caused a great disturbance in the Red Lotus Territory. However, she seems to have suffered some sort of grievance and has now returned with an agitated aura."

The man raised his sharp brows and laughed icily. "Since she has returned, bring my male lion out for a spin! My male lion has been rather inhibited over these past few days and since Murong Qian has returned, it's time to let my male lion enjoy a good time."

"As you command!"

The guard joined his fists and backed away.

Not too long after the guard had taken his leave, a figure rushed into the room. The woman was weeping pitifully and looked incomparably tragic.

"Ye, you have to stand up for me."
